NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE ON "LUCKY" TWO-DOLLAR BILLS

Mark Tomasko writes: "A curious article published this week in the
Sunday, January 21, 2007, New York Times, Styles section is 'With
Jefferson on His Side', which helps perpetuate the "lucky" nature of
two dollar bills. The article relates the story of Cameron Sinclair,
a British-born architect living in Manhattan, who received a two dollar
bill in change - he had never gotten one before - and kept it as a good
luck charm because "Jefferson was the only president who was an
architect."

"I have some new two dollar bills and occasionally use them to make
purchases, and the reactions I get range from dismay to amusement to
great enthusiasm. But this is the first time I've heard someone use
the architecture connection to relate to two dollar bills!"
